because she says emergency shelters are struggling to keep up. bret. >> bret: grady, thank you. dana, you think about all of the criticism those governors got about moving migrants. politically it has changed the dynamic in those cities. >> dana: they had to. i have to think if it had been the other way those democratic mayors and governors would have done the same thing. it is a national problem and we're seeing the fruits of that now. great piece by grady there. want to get to this right now. former president donald trump's legal team is due in federal court for a pre-trial hearing on the 2020 election interference case. a judge will consider arguments on how the evidence will be handled by trump and his defense team. special counsel jack smith wants a protective order keeping trump from sharing certain details with the public. smith also wants the trial to begin january 2, 2 weeks before the iowa caucus. that's the kickoff of the republican primary process as

we've been talking about today. trump pleaded not guilty to all charges. details from the court as we get them. that's happening this morning as we speak. >> my wife and five kids we all got in the ocean. we hung onto a floating board. explosions and burning, cars blowing up. embers flying. we couldn't breathe. >> people are found in houses in a huddle holding each other. the fire surrounded their homes before they could get out. nowhere to go. >> we have food, water, and a place to shower and people who love us. >> dana: just the trauma they're dealing with there. the devastating wildfires leaving behind a path of destruction of maui. 55 confirmed dead. more than 1,000 listed as missing. entire communities are burned to the ground as search and rescue teams comb the island looking for survivors. a grim situation there. welcome to a new hour of

"america's newsroom." i'm dana perino. bill hemmer off today. >> bret: i'm bret baier. the governor calling it the worst national disaster his state has ever seen. it will take years and billions of dollars to recover from the damage. survivors are reporting horrific scenes as they escaped through the flames and burning embers raining down around them. strong winds from hurricane dora are fanning the flames. the fast moving wildfires destroyed thousands of homes and buildings in a matter of hours. we have photos showing a scene on the island before and after the flames came through. a small peaceful town ungavelled in an infern on. let's go to max gordon reporting for fox weather live on maui. hi, max. >> just a tragic situation here on the island of maui. 13 miles away from the town of

lahaina, one of the hardest areas hit by the fires. we have a roadblock where police aren't very many people in. just residents and restricted to only a few areas. it is an active scene on a lot of parts of the island. there are still many hot spots and firefighters are trying to put out the flames in areas and search and rescues crews are searching for survivors and finding victims. 55 people confirmed dead at this hour as fires continue to burn throughout the island. it is unclear why these fires started. none of these fires are currently contained. the most destructive fire, the one on maui's west side which ripped through the community of lahaina fed by dry conditions and fierce winds because of hurricane dora. the fire destroyed more than 1,000 homes and damaged the

bannan tree. it is now described as looking like a war zone here. >> i don't know if they got their family safe. i know when you grew up on that street and you know auntie and uncle that had no chance. you think it could have happened to any of us. >> heartbreaking scenes playing out across this island. making matters worse, cell service and phone lines have been cut out across the west side of maui. many people can't reach their loved ones or friends. they don't know their fate as hundreds remain missing. >> dana: they need all the help and support we can give them. thank you, max. >> yes, thank you. >> bret: fried food, butter sculptures and stump speeches. iowa state fair. a crucial stop for white house hopefuls. they hope for a break-out moment ahead of the first primary debate in milwaukee, wisconsin.

alexis mcadams is live at the fairgrounds in des moines. hey, alexis. >> check out this behind me. you can see at the iowa state fair. a big fried donut or check out something like this, large cinnamon roll to take a big bite out of to start your morning in the 90 degree heat in the iowa state fair. it's about politics that's the main course. mike pence feels right at home in the state of iowa and trying to connect one-on-one with voters. >> a lot of people are coming up and talking to you. how about the feedback from iowa? >> traveling around iowa and people are warm and welcoming. this a state that takes their first in a nation role to heart. they want to know the candidates. >> more than a million people from across the world are heading to the iowa state fair this year. locals say it's the true heartbeat of the midwest here.

voters here are used to seeing the presidential hopefuls move through the grounds and expect candidates to work for every vote. they want to see how they visit with vendors and flip the pork chops and if they take questions. doug burgum. mike pence and suarez. along with johnson and elder will take the turn this afternoon which does get some pretty big crowds at the fairgrounds. florida governor ron desantis will go one-on-one with governor reynolds. a chance to learn about what the candidates all stand for. >> it really helps them be a better candidate when they have to test their message and hear what's on the minds of everyday iowans. >> so who will not be at the fairside chats? donald trump. his team says he wants to go into the fairgrounds and talk with people one-on-one with iowa voters than sit with the current

governor. some people calling it a snub. she says it is his choice. she would love to have the chance to talk to him. keeping an eye on what his plans are on saturday. another busy day at the fair. people expect this. they know it is the head and center of the political universe in des moines, iowa. you can't forget about all the food, bret. >> bret: stay away from fried butter. there is no upside. >> i hear a lot of these republican caucus goers. i hear them talk about how they want a fresh start for america. president trump in the polls does lead but we do have a number of people out there as well that will say you know what, we need a fresh face out there. >> dana: joni ernst says voters get to size up candidates at the state fair. most of the republicans will be there this weekend. five today and four tomorrow. chris christie is a no show putting his focus on new

hampshire. charlie hurt is an opinion editor and jessica tarlov. great to have you. put up the polls. iowa republicans trump at 44, desantis 20, tim scott at nine and then others down there in the low single digits. do you remember what president trump went in and took the helicopter and gave kids rides? one of the most iconic modern political experiences of our time. i don't know if he can replicate that. instead of taking iowa endorseers he is taking nine florida congressmen who supported him. >> he broke the caucuses with the helicopter rides and he was a bad boy back then because they shut him down and said he didn't have the permits. they didn't have the right place to land. he just found a football field across the street and started

over there and took people up and everybody left the fair to go over to the helicopter rides. it is interesting. it is still early. things are going to change somewhat in some direction. but you know, the problem here is a lot of times when you have the caucus, the iowa caucuses, you have -- you have a bunch of people in the field. a bunch of people not particularly well-known. big difference this time is you have one guy who is very, very -- >> dana: 100% name i.d. ron desantis has higher name i.d. than some others but visited 99 of the counties. for democrats when they watch this, if they watch at all, are they still anticipating that trump will be the one that they go against or do they think something could happen here? >> well, i think there are big questions surrounding what is going on with the indictments. we have three indictments thus far and another one from georgia

in the next week or two. jack smith's team released their target or their proposed date for the january 6th trial, january 2nd. >> dana: even with all of those things. >> that's the main factor. how could you assume it won't have an effect. something that will tie him up timewise. that trial would come days before the iowa caucuses. >> dana: they want them january 2nd. >> how could you not think it is donald trump barring the fact he drops out. >> dana: can you imagine the people at justice department saying great, jack smith just ruined christmas getting ready for a trial on january 2nd. >> jack smith is democrat's hail mary in this election. >> dana: i know what that means. do you remember on "the five" when we talked about how ridiculous it was to call the climate bill the inflation reduction act.

apparently president biden agrees. watch here. it was a quote. i will not do an imitation. i wish i hadn't called it that. less to do with inflation but providing alternatives with alternative growth. inflation nation if you look at this chart call for number five. inflation is one of the bigger issues. we knew it was a joke. joe manchin who says he wants to possibly run leaving the democratic party was the one who voted for it. he was the lynch pin. >> it doesn't make any sense. but this has been a problem with younger voters. who care so much about climate action talking earlier this week. he has a lower approval rating on his climate agenda based on the historic investment. you called the bill by the wrong name. if people thought you had hundreds of billions of dollars

-- >> dana: what does it mean for people actually paying their taxes and looking at this stuff? >> also you have the white house talking out of both sides of their mouth. on the one hand joe biden talking about how we'll end fossil fuel, reliance on fossil fuels and the white house saying they are more drilling permits, which is not true. but it's a real problem. i do think what's interesting about that quote, though, is captain obvious. everybody already realizes. you don't need to be a statistic to tell you there is inflation. it indicates that he is on planet earth, which is a step in the right direction. >> that was generous of you. >> dana: on that note let's all have a great weekend. thanks, here you go. >> lost everything, homes, jobs, your cars, some their pets. there are still people missing. i have never seen something ravaged so fast.

>> bret: so painful to watch. hawaii reeling from the catastrophic deadly wildfires. >> dana: a groundbreaking ruling in the fight against fentanyl. an ohio judge is taking aim at a cartel far from u.s. soil. >> bret: mexican cartels operating with impunity very close to the southern border. new video showing how they tighten the grip on migrants trying to enter the u.s. >> they don't want a secure border. we have to accept that. that's a new normal on our border that we deal with every day. rates lately? many are over 22%, near 30% if you pay late. why not do what thousands of veteran families have done. call newday and pay off that high rate debt with the lower rate newday 100 va cash out loan. veterans can save $500 a month. that's $6,000 a year. it changes everything for them. it can for you too.

that hearing is underway. we have this from the court. the judge basically said the safety of witnesses is important that the defendant has the right to free speech but that right is not absolute. without a protective order a party could taint a jury pool. that's over the scope of the materials and information released in the case and whether or not he will be able to talk about that. this is not about a gag order but protective order. this is happening right now right there at that courthouse in washington, d.c. halfway between the white house and capitol hill. so we'll keep you updated as we get more information. they're in the courtroom right now. >> you need to come out with your hands up.

what do you know, bill? >> good morning to you. here in the rio grande valley sector the drug cartels have an iron grip on deciding who crosses the border illegally. the video reflects that. we'll get into it. this is texas dps drone video from brownsville that appears to show migrants scattering after that he are approached by several suspected cartel members armed with machetes waving them around telling the migrants you pay or you won't be allowed to cross this river into the united states. texas dps tells us they ended up talking to some migrants after they crossed illegally into the u.s. and told these guys came at us with match et east and weren't letting us cross unless we paid. once we paid they will let us cross. they wear the cartel brace lets saying they've been paid.

border patrol caught a backpack full of live endanger spider monkeys. they catch people smuggling exotic animals with the intent to sell them. they were rescued and turned over to authorities. human smuggling. take a look at these photos out of the laredo area. border patrol stopping a track for trailer. inside of it they find 28 illegal immigrants being smuggled crammed into the cab. just that front cab area. hard to believe 28 people crammed in there. lastly we'll take you out to arizona where border patrol agents opened up an rv and 16 migrants were smuggled and hidden in different areas of that rv. back live this migrant surge continues. multiple sources telling me yesterday alone border patrol apprehended just over 6,000 migrants who crossed the border

seized at the southern border. in 2023, 19,663 pounds compared to 7300 pounds roughly the previous year. it is exponential was happening and coming across. >> that is what's being seized. they at the same time they are only seizing 10% of what's coming in. that's more than the population of the united states can possibly consume. that is indicative of stockpiling. this material is being brought into the united states in large quantities and being saved and stored in specific areas. this is a national security threat of epic proportions. >> bret: tell me about tommy. we are looking at pictures now. >> tommy was a wonderful man. he had great athletic abilities. wonderful work ethic, loved his family, loved his friends and

was just a wonderful guy. he became addicted to painkillers after a various dental work and rollerblading accident and we have a family hereditary substance abuse. tom hit the perfect material and struggled with it for some time. he was given a lethal dose of fentanyl in 2015 when nobody knew what this material was and it killed him instantly. my wife found him. she had the courage to call the police and not go in and just fool with the crime scene. they did the great work and traced this all the way back to the zang drug trafficking organization in china and indicted them in 2018. that's when i became aware of what was going on because in the

indictment it said they were producing 16 metric tons a month at that time in china. so we sent a contingent to china, prosecuted the zang's for his murder and after three days of prosecution, they deliberated for 15 minutes and set the zang's free. they are purportedly in mexico mass producing fentanyl along with the cartels. bob anderson from 60 minutes confirmed them in the marketplace in china and expelled from china and visa revoked. since that time hundreds of thousands of americans have been killed by this horrible scourge that has been launched against the united states. the well-known mechanism of compulsion, disease and death. this is a well-planned attack that has been going on for some time while we've turned a blind eye to what we consider the blight of the junkies. this is totally misrepresented as to what's going on.

we sued the zheng family and they did it on contingency that hopes something would come of it and using it as a model. we hope to first of all shine a light on the problem and secondly we would like to get ahold of that money and use it against these cartels and this blight that is attacking the united states at this time. shut off the supply of this material. it's why we're pushing for fentanyl to be named a weapon of mass destruction and we have the backing of a congressman who introduced a bill in congress asking for it to be a weapons of mass destruction. it would give us the tools to shut off the supply of this material before it gets here. >> bret: i've talked to a number of lawmakers, bipartisan both sides of the aisle really concerned about this.

approach finding dozens of entities with overlapping duties. lawmakers trying to sort it out. here is aishah hosni. >> good morning. you were talking earlier in the hour about how folks in maui need those shelters the most. this couldn't come at a better time. lawmakers are wondering if the government is up to the job. house oversight republicans if florida looking into the federal response to hurricane ian. more than $2 billion was authorized for that massive storm that happened last fall. florida officials were complaining there were huge problems getting what they needed. >> i went to the fema folks and said what's going on with the trailer program? call this 1-800 number. what? you are sitting here. why don't you give me an answer? i would never get an answer. >> what's going on here? according to the government accountability office whenever a disaster strikes just like what is happening in hawaii right now, a whopping 30 different

federal agencies respond to it. that's 30 different requirements and deadlines for folks to try to navigate while they are homeless. congressman andy biggs says congress is partly to blame here. >> no secret the patchwork of programs can be a nightmare for survivors and communities to navigate. p congress contributes to delays in the department of resources to impacted communities. >> a new wrinkle in all this. marco rubio this morning demanding that the white house separate its request for more disaster relief funding from ukraine funding. he writes that president biden is holding americans hostage by tying critical domestic disaster relief to foreign military aid. bret, sounds like we're headed for another funding showdown as soon as congress returns next month. i will say the funding they are talking about that marco rubio

is talking about would not go to maui. that's separate. >> bret: we're one fiscal cliff away. >> that's the theme on capitol hill. >> bret: thanks. >> dana: while that's happening a new poll finds president biden is losing support among key voting blocks. for the first time the president now failing to win a majority of support from non-white voters who have not graduated from college. here to break it down is a scholar at the american enterprise institute and great person to have on the show. you've done research. the margin of non-white working class voters in with theall elections for president obama was 67%. biden 48%. you think this is actually having an even stop for the democrats. >> at least on current evidence it is. the poll is the "new york times" poll found non-white working class voters giving biden only a

16-point margin over trump which is quite small relative to those previous margins you mentioned. if that holds through the election it would create big problems for the democrats. i expect it will improve somewhat over what we see in that poll. it has to improve a lot to get back to the level biden had just in 2020. there has been all kinds of indicators over time of softening of non-white, non-college support for the democrats and for biden. this is just another sign that that's a real thing, a real trend and something for democrats to be very concerned about. >> bret: i want to read from your op-ed "new york post" in which you say out of touch progressives are driving non-white voters out of the democratic party. the beginning of wisdom is understanding the non-white working class is not progressive while the democratic party became more so. the voters say they are moderate to conservative with less than a quarter identifying as liberal. for republicans, is it possible to look at this election and say

if you take let's say 1, 2 points out of a black vote that was traditionally democratic you can change the dynamic of this entire race. >> yeah, that's correct. that's a very important fact for people to keep in mind about so-called people of color or non-whites. overwhelmingly these are moderate to conservative, not liberal. they have a lot of views on a lot of issues that make them somewhat accessible to the republicans. as you say, if you just take a few points off the black vote or while we've seen bigger than that off the hispanic vote it creates problems for the democrats. so i think republicans, you know, i'm not a campaign consultant but if you want to concentrate on something that will give the democrats trouble you would be well advised to really work the non-white vote,

especially the non-white working class vote and not assume it's automatically all for the democrats. >> dana: do you think the biden campaign recognizes this as an issue and do you think they'll do anything about it? >> they recognize that. they can read a poll as well as i can and they're worried about it and i think they'll try to work these people pretty hard. they are not willing to compromise on some of the issues, some of the moderate to conservative not only working class voters are concerned about but certainly will be trying to remind them about how great bidenomics is, certainly try to highlight what they argue are excesses and outright racism on the part of the republican party. this is going to be a no quarter given culture war going into 2024. >> dana: it is underway today as all the republican candidates get to iowa to debate there. good to have you. >> bret: thanks. it's one of the reasons they're

concerned about cornel west. we look live at the state fair. vice president mike pence with governor kim reynolds in their soapbox talk. want to listen in? >> the size of our nation's economy. first time since world war ii. i think the time has come to have leadership in the white house that's honest with the american people and says look, for everybody in retirement we won't change anything. you have hair the same color of me it won't affect you at all. frankly anybody 40 or older we won't change it. you can't change horses in the middle of the stream, right? but for anybody under the age of 40 like that young lady i would like to have a conversation that maybe we can reform the new deal programs and give you a better deal by making sure that social security and medicare are actually there for you and that this mountain range of debt that is driving inflation that will literally bury our economy under debt and what the democrats want to do higher taxes isn't there. i think tackling runaway

spending. >> bret: talking about debt and deficit. not a conversation that republicans or democrats have been talking a lot about in recent election cycles. >> dana: they don't have good records on either of the things but it is on the mind of people. inflation and economy and maybe some good policy discussions this weekend. fun to have our reporters there and let us know what's going on. we're watching at donald trump's legal team is back in court today. a judge is hearing arguments on the d.o.j. request for a protective order. more details are emerging from inside the courtroom and shannon bream joins us to discuss next. plus replacing human drivers with robot cars. why one city's decision has people reacting like this. >> this is what big money from the tech titans and the corporate world can do to buy their way into disrupting society. i'm saving with liberty mutual, mom. they customize your car insurance

>> bret: i like that one. a federal judge in the trump 2020 election case coming down with some rulings saying the former president has the right to free speech but that right is not absolute. courtroom reporter jake gibson saying the judge was not persuaded by the prosecutor's argument. that seems reading this to be something for the defense. shannon bream, anchor of "fox news sunday" and reading through the tea leaves it seems like a pretty good ruling for the former president. >> she is open to this idea he has to be able to talk about what's going on in the case. so what his attorneys have argued is if there is sensitive material let's parse it out and say that can't be used publicly. they didn't want a blanket

order. it sounds like the judge is siding with him saying yes, sensitive information is one thing. there is a lot of other information he should be able to talk about. >> bret: she also said earlier she is not going to factor in that he is running for office. that's not going to factor into how she thinks of things. clearly this is looking like it is heading his way. >> she has also noted his social media post and very aware of him giving speeches, stump speeches where he goes after the prosecutors and the judge and everybody else. she is aware of that. she said for neither side am i going to consider the issue you are running for president which begs of the question of the trial date. prosecutors want january 2nd. all the big caucuses and primaries he will miss. she is not deciding on that today but telegraphing here she can't help the fact the defendant happens to be running for president. >> bret: that factors in so much. 13 days before the iowa caucuses.

the average trial is what 4, 6, 8 weeks? >> think about in the florida case, the mar-a-lago case is set for may of next year. the parties discussed there and this discussion of the fact he is running for president was brought up and the judge said important people with big jobs get invited by federal courts all the time and they have to show up for their trial. she didn't let it factor in to setting hers for may and see what the judge says about january. it falls in the middle of everything that is going to be pulling him in ten different directions. >> bret: is there a sense this judge, looking at how she has ruled before on january 6th defendants, she has been pretty tough on the sentences. there were a lot of republicans who looked at this, including the former president, who said this is going to be an uphill battle. judging by this initial look at this protective order, it seems like she is cutting it down the middle. >> she is. she is no nonsense. over the weekend the case got

filed late friday night. she said everybody has to respond to monday. the trump team said give us more time and she said no, i'll see you on monday. she doesn't want any foot dragging or any delays. but also interestingly enough today what they are arguing about. one of the things coming out of the courtroom is the trump team has argued they want volunteer attorneys to be able to have access to this discovery information that will come in. >> bret: they aren't paying them. >> justice department has more than 60 lawyers. we have a small group. we want volunteer lawyers to see this stuff. doesn't sound like she is going for that. she says this issue is the same group that aided trump in the january 6th plot. volunteer attorneys at the time might seem to help in this case. i can't accept a definition that might let anyone including indictment co-conspirators to assist in the process. some wins for the trump team but this judge not playing around. >> bret: good to have you to digest realtime getting the

words from the judge. this weekend on "fox news sunday." >> we'll talk to mike mccaul fighting for answers as we get to the second anniversary of the disastrous withdrawal from afghanistan. you saw the gold star families this week. he says they deserve answers, the american people deserve appearances. adam smith talk foreign policy. iran deal getting a lot of attention. new push for ukraine spending. will they get it? stacy winans will be on the show as well. >> dana: love to have her as well. public universities are spending billions of dollars and forcing students and their families to pay for their big spending sprees. we'll talk about it. lower your monthly payments with the three c's: pay down your credit cards, pay off your car loan, consolidate your debt with a va home loan from from newday. #1 isn't a status earned overnight. it's earned in every wash, and re-earned every day.
